Self-contained Rixa Storms can’t wait to escape from beneath the pressure of her mother’s religious, controlling thumb. With college in her sights on the horizon, freedom seems to arrive early with a special opportunity to learn a unique power in a world called University Heights. But that portrait of ‘freedom’ is shattered when she uncovers the oppressive skeletons the school works hard to keep buried. And as the real and surreal worlds collide and the pressure unravels her, she realizes she may need to reassess what is truly shackling her, or risk being consumed by her awakened abilities.
